Pelosi and impeachment: Congresswoman Pelosi is doing her duty to the nation. President Trump has left her no honorable alternative.
It doesn't please me that Democratic house members will honestly vote for impeachment. I do not want impeachment not continuing to be a highly abnormal procedure within our government.
I'm pleased that Republican Senators will not find President Trump guilty, and I expect they will pay the price when he's not re-elected. We voters deserve what we elected and it is we who should remedy our own errors. Respectfully, Supposn

Impeachment hits House floor: What to watch on historic vote
PELOSI
It's legacy time for her, too.
In her second turn as speaker, the House veteran of more than three decades says relentlessly that impeachment is a somber time, not one for celebration. She says the Clinton impeachment proceedings were too divisive for the county, and resisted opening impeachment proceedings against President George W. Bush after the Iraq War.
She refused to launch impeachment proceedings against Trump over his obstruction of the Russia investigation, saying she'd be against doing so unless there was bipartisan sentiment for it.
That still doesn't exist for the impeachment articles now headed for passage. But Pelosi has said Trump's conduct toward Ukraine, while holding up military aid to that country, left her no choice.
“Very sadly, the facts have made clear that the President abused his power for his own personal, political benefit and that he obstructed Congress,” Pelosi wrote to colleagues. “In America, no one is above the law”.
